"They possessed" said the judge, that
wild savage romance, and gave us long
harangues about the graves of their forefath-
ers. The more savage, filthy and degraded
they were the more pretense they made OF
this sentiment. Our talks with them were
long and tedious The great trouble with
them is whisky. You can get along with a
sober Indian, but when he is drunk he is "a
wild beast; he will do anything. It's against
the law TO sell liquor to them, but white
men buy it for them and make large profit
bv the transaction. They buy bottle and
hide il in the brush and the Indians md It.
They have a certain code Of honor which
they maintain with great stoicism. You
could neither bride or threaten one OF those
Indians TO make him tell on anyone who
sold him whisky He will swear that he
found it, or else maintain stubborn silence.
No court can force him to give testimony.
The savuge tribes have way OF wearing a
feather in their heads TO mark each enemy
they have killed, and no Indian Will ever
add feather he has not won.

Can Sunday be Saved?

"Save Sunday and we can save the
Observation-Disclosures not" These are
the words of the eloquent teacher,
Joseph Cook, spoken in his Boston
Monday lecture prelude, Feb. Is, 1885.
It is all important statement. If the
continuance of the Republic depends
upon the continuance of Sunday as
the Sabbath, what are the chances that
the Republic will long continue?
In connection with the words, quot
ed above, the speaker made state
ment of facts which are very signifi-
cant of the answer which must be Civ
en- to the above question. He said:
1.-The other day I attended, on the
banks of the Mississippi, an evening

were only six present, although an ad.

Trials In Home Life.

The other day I read an article on
"Husband-Lovers," which taught a
good lesson to one-third of the mar
ried women; but how about the other
two-thirds? Many tried, heart-sick
woman will read this piece, and with
moist eyes look back to the time when
her husband was a lover, and follow
the years up carefully, trying to find
where she is at fault that he is no long,
er one. Yes, to be sure, 1.-The curls
that he used to push back in order to
kiss the white forehead" are brushed
away, the bit of lace and bright rib
bon has been put aside for plain COL
lar and pin which are not nearly so be-
coming. The pretty light dinner dress
has given place to plain dark one.
The hands that arranged the graceful
curls, have several heads of curls to
brush now. In order to have three or
four children clean, and dressed for
dinner and papa, mamma must put up
with the easily arranged collar. Where
there are babies to feed, food to pre-
pare, etc., a bright, dainty dinner
dress would be incongruous. To be
sure, she never stands now at the win
dow with a bright face watching for
him, and rarely plays his favorite airs,
or sings the old love songs, because her
songs must be lullabys; her fingers
are tired and stiff with "nlaking his
home bright and attractive" and keep
ing his children presentable. Alas !!
she does not forget that tits thard for
the neatly-dressed gentleman to caress
an untidy woman" and the knowl-
edge only makes her more unhappy,
but he forgets that this woman from
earliest morning has not had one mo-
ment to think of herself. His sweet
heart was a beautiful, loving, light
hearted girl, with never a care to cloud
the sunshine of her life; his wife is a
prematurely old woman tired brain,
body, and soul, with few bright spots
piercing the shadow. My friend,
your women are the minority; unfor-
tunately, mine are the majority. You
speak of bringing back wandering
hearts. Is it not strange that after a
woman has sacrificed herself for her
husband and children, after she had
faded in his service, that he should
want to wander? I do not believe
there are many women who, through
mere idleness, neglect their looks.
Most women like to look pretty and
attractive, and it is hard for them to
see their beauty fading and their hus-
bands admiration declining, and turn
to duties unpleasant. You speak of
the trials that the husband must en-
dure; do they not vanish before the
wife's ordeals? When the poor tired
body has rest, and the heart q little
encouragement, she will gladly culti-
yate her mind.

How Does He Sleep? ?
BY REV. DIR. DEEMS.

One of the most important things to
know about any man upon whom you
are going to place any dependence is
how he sleeps. Sleeplessness may
sometimes be involuntary. There
may have been some shock to the
mans nerves which has made him in
somnolent; but sleeplessness is more
frequent voluntary. Men choose to
push their studies or their work into
those hours when they should be
asleep. 1t does not matter for what
cause any man may do this g.; the mere
fact of not sleeping spoils his case. He
may spend his nights in the theatre,
in the study, or in the "protracted
meeting" It will make no differ
ence; the result to the body will be
the same. The sleep was not had, and
for that the man must pay. One man
may do with little less sleep than
another: but, as general rule, if you
want a clerk, lieutenant, lawyer,
physician, legislator, o judge, pres
ident, or pastor, do not trust your in.
terests to any man that does not take,
on an average, eight good, solid hours
VI olSSp OuO VI SsSlJ V"ShOJ -lOuA .
Whatever may be his reason for it, if
he does not give himself that, he will
snap sometime just when you want
him to be strong.
The intellectual and moral connec-
tions of sleeping, have, I think, not
been sufficiently appreciated. Men
and boys have been praised for "burn-
ing the midnight oil.n Now this
midnight oil" is a delusion and a
snare. The student who is fast asleep
at eleven o'clock every night, and
wide awake at seven o'clock every
morning, is going to surpass another
student, of the same intellectual abili-
ty, who goes to bed after twelve and
rises before five. In sleep, the plate
on which the picture is to be taken, is
receiving its chemical preparation,
and it is plain that that which is the
best prepared will take the best pic
ture.
Men who are the fastest asleep when
they are asleep are the widest awake
when they are awake.
Great workers must be great rosters.

A Divided Heart.

Concentration of effort is necessary
to success. He to whom different OBJ
jects are equally attractive will waste
in indecision and in varying efforts a
large portion of his energies. To use
his energies Alright they must be fixed
on q single object. There may be va
riety Of means, but there must not be
variety Of end. -.
A divided heart is great evil in all
matters, but, most of all, in matters
pertaining to religion. TO be a true,
growing, useful Christian the heart
must be fixed on God alone.
Some mems hearts are divided be-
tween God and the world. They love
divine things, and they also love earth
ly things. At times the love of divine
things clearly predominates. Then
they give evidence of being earnest
Christians. They are seen with the
people Of God. They are seen labor
ing to do good.
At other times the love of the world
is strong. There is desire to con
form to usages which the spiritually
minded regard as sinful, or as tending
to sin. There is disposition to soften
the stern requirements of the Bible
and to lessen the offense of the cross.
They persuade themselves that by so
doing they can acquire an influence
for good over persons who are repelied
by those Of greater strictness in relIg-
ion.
1t is great folly to attempt to move
heavenward with q divided heart.
One cannot walk in two directions at
the same time. "Ye cannot serve God
and mammon."
There is no real enjoyment with Il
divided heart. The converted heart
cannot enjoy the world, and cannot
enjoy Christ while striving to enjoy
tho world. In order to religious ell
ioyment the heart must be "tiXed.n
TheIc is no religious progress while
the heart is..divided. The path of the
Christian should be like the shining
light which shineth more and more
unto the perfect day. With divided
heart there can be, ut best, only alter.
nate seasons of light and darkness, @
advancement and retrogression.
There is no usefulness when the
heart is divided. There may be sea
SONS of devotion, and of Jealous effort
to DO good, but such efforts are oftel
neutralized by the Inconsistency re-
sulting from a divided heart.
Let no one lie coutent till his hear
is supremely fixed OH God, till he feel:
that at all times and under all circum
stances he has but one thing to do
the will of God.

Relief for IngroWing Toe Nails.

For that very painful affection, in.
growing toe nails, the simplest meas.
ure of relief which has been advocated
is the application of tannin. One
who has had many years. experience
with it uses a concentrated solution
IAN ounce of perfectly fresh tannic
acid dissolved with six drachms Of
pure water, with gentle heat), and has
the soft part around the nail painted
twice day. Two cases recently had
no pain or lameness after the first ap
plication, and went about their avoca.
tions which they could not do before
After about three weeks of this treat
ment the nail had grown to its proper
length and breadth and the cure was
complete. No other treatment of any
kind was used, though formerly he in
troduced lint under the ingrowing
edge of such cases.

Strength for To-day,

Strength for to-day Is all that we need,
AS there never will be tomorrow;
For tomorrow will prove but another to-day
With its measure Of Joy and sorrow.
Then why forecast the trials Of life,
With such sad and grave persistence,
And watch and walt Tor a crowd OF Ills,
That as yet have no existence?
Strength for to.day-in house and home,
So practice for5earance sweetly-
To scatter kind words and loving deeds,
Still trusting in God completely.
Strength for to-day-what precious boon
For the earnest souls who labor,
For the willing hands who minister
To the needy friend or neighbor.

Sad But True.

It is sad to think that there are
many who eagerly respond to any OBJ
lection that is urged against the per
feet credibility and infallible inspira
ton of the Bible. They instantly
leap to the conclusion that those who
assail its authority must be right, and
it's defenders wrong. Their natural
sympathies are with the "higher criti-
cism' and other forms of skepticism,
simply because their natural sympa.
thies are not with God and his Word.
A gentleman who processes to be q
Christian and claims to be a great
reader, came not long ago in state of
excitement, to minister, eXclaiming a:
81 have just found wonderous book
in the library. 1t is book by Prof.
Robertson Smith of Scotland, who
shows that the laws of Leviticus were
unknown to the Jews for thousand
years after Moses, and that Deuterono-
my was written at period much later
than his day.
The minister looked at him a mo-
ment, and quietly said: "What is it
in you that instantly takes sides
against Gods Word? You did not in
quire whether Prof. Robertson Smith
had been utterly refuted and routed,
but Immediately jumped to the con-
clusion that he is right"
II did not know" the man sullenly
answered, "that any one had replied
to him."
"Just so; you did not know, and
you did not care to ask. Now, let me
inform you that Prof. Green of Prince
ton, to say nothing of Hengsteinberg
and others, whose scholarship is so far
beyond that of young Smith, that he
is unworthy to unite their shoe-latch-
ct, has proved that all his talk about
Leviticus and Deuteronomy is the
merest trash"
He is the representative of large
class who eagerly take up with any
thing that promises to shake the faith
of men in the Scriptures. They hope
to find the old Book false because it
bears so hard upon them in their un-
saved state; and yet, if it were proved
false, they would be left in an infinite
ly more pitiable condition to grope
through darkness to an unknown eter-
nifty. But he that is brought to bow
his proud will at the foot of the cross.
and to accept pardon as the unmerited
gift of God, through Jesus Christ our
Lord, can turn to the inspired Scrip
lures as the unfailing fountain of wis
dom, strength and consolation; and
the more he resorts to them. the more
surely will he see that "holy men OF
God spake as they were moved by the
HOLY Ghost"

An illustration of unconscious intiG-

An illustration of unconscious inilu-
ence is told of Spurgeon. A E'"l
many years since lie was invited |"
speak in Il large hall. In order TO get
the key of the building he visited ii
when vacant, as he supposed. Stand
ing on the platform it occurred to him
to use the familiar passage: "This is Il
faithful saying, and worthy o. all ac-
ceptation that JESUS Christ came into
the world to save sinners; Of whom |
am chief" lie repeated the text.
Nothing was heard OF the occurrence
for years. A mechanic was dying.
When asked about his spiritual state
he told of being at work in the hall
when suddenly he heard the voice and
the Scripture. At that time he was
wicked. The truth smote him until
he found peace in believing. Thus
the utterance of the minister brought
forth rich fruit. Most speakers would
have used other words in making the
test.

In many case, it is doing more for
person u receive Il gift or service
from him, than to give u gift or to rem
der Il service to him. Just because it
is more blessed to give than to receive,
we have no right to be always taking
that blessing to ourselves; but we
should permit others TO gain their
share Of it. A child is helped by be-
ing privileged to give gift to his pa
rents, Or TO render Il service to some
one whom he loves and honors. A
scholar is worth more in class,
through contributing to the stock OF
its common knowledge; and the class
is worth more to him in consequence.
Mind ard character are developed
through their exercise, and are gain
ers through their outlay; hence, in
every sphere of life there is an attain
ment which is possible only through
self-dcuial and self-eXpcnditure. Our
duty toward others involves looking
at their needs in more directions than
one; and i'll order to the meeting OF
their need Of this aid TO their highest
development of mind and character,
we must often permit them to be tile
givers and doers, when we should real
ry find more personal enjoyment in
rnulerring favors than in receiving

HOUSE AND FARM.
Good Nursing.

There are few things that require
more strength of character, more gen
eral excellence, aptitude, and deftness,
than the charge of sick-room does ;
and the very tirst thing that one must
do, upon undertaking it, is to forget
ones self. You become from that mo-
ment impersonal; you are to have no
sensation, no identity, no wishes, no
fatigues; you are to be utterly out of
the question you are TO be only a
healing force, a machine; there is no.
body in that room but the patient.
\ lou are to abandon yourself wholly to
determination, to one determination
that the sufferer shall recover; and
that, since you are there to insure it,
you will not leave a thing undone,
any more than if in case you did, the
death should lie at your door.
How refreshing to patient is the
passing of wet cloth over the face
and hands, carefully wiped again at
once; the turning Of the heated pill
low, the tanning of the aching fore
head, the rearrangement of the cover
lets, the murmuring of the tender or
reassuring word aud then how re-
freshing it is to be let alone. For the
nurse who fuses forever over a sick
person is as bad as the nurse who neg
lects him.
There is no physician who will not
tell you that more cures are wrought
by good nursing than by medicine
and though it is of course impossible
for many of us to hope to reach the
eninence of skillful administration
of medicine, yet it is within the pow.
er of all of us to make the cures that
are wrought by faithful nursing.
